Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower, and Hey Joe.
He did a few more good covers of Dylan songs, Dylan once said that whenever he played Watchtower it became a tribute to Jimi, which is funny.
Brian Ferry's version of Dylan's "It's a hard rain's a gonna fall" is the worst cover of all time, I cried the first time I heard it. He took everything good about the songa nd made it bad, grr.
And Dylan can sing.
